]]>When you’re facing a parole violations charge, it is very important to hire a NYC attorney with parole violations experience!
A common misconception is that an individual feels their misdemeanor case is going to be dismissed, and therefore their parole officer won’t care they violated parole. This is not the case. Even if your criminal case is dismissed and sealed, you can still be charged with violating your parole terms.
Under state law, the government must prove its case “beyond reasonable doubt.” Under parole law, the standard is much less and only requires “preponderance of the evidence.”
If you are charged with a parole violation, you can be subjected to different degrees of punishment depending on the severity of your violation and several other factors.

]]>If you violate one of the conditions of your probation, a judge will decide what the punishment should be for the violation. Punishments may include lengthening the probation sentence, tightening the conditions, or possibly even jail time.
On the other hand, if you do well on probation – that is, if you are not a danger to the community and have diligently complied with the conditions of your probation – you are entitled under NY law to request an early release from probation.
If you have been given probation following a conviction, it is in your best interest to speak with a Manhattan probation violation attorney who can help negotiate the terms of your probation. Call Paul D. Petrus, Jr. today for a free initial consultation.

]]>Probation is a criminal sentence where the court permits the offender to remain free under terms and conditions set by the law. In this period, the offender reports to a probation officer at regular intervals. Parole is a conditional release of the offender from jail.
The conditions set for parole and probation in New York are almost the same:
If the offender violates parole or probation, then they return to jail. The offender may face extra jail time for violating the terms.

]]>The post Parole Violation appeared first on Petrus Law.
]]>When a parole officer determines that a parolee may have violated the conditions of release, either by committing a new crime or failing to adhere to the conditions of release, the Parole Board’s regulations provide for the issuing of a detainer warrant. If the warrant is issued, the parolee will be arrested and kept in a local jail, awaiting the outcome of a parole violation hearing. If the charges are not sustained at the hearing, the warrant will be lifted and the parolee restored to parole under supervision. If the charges are sustained, the parolee may be ordered to return to state prison or an alternative treatment facility.
All inmates released on parole are given a list of conditions they are supposed to hear to. Typically, restrictions include where the parolee can live, who the parolee can live with, where the parolee can work, and even who the parolee can associate with. Violating these conditions is called a technical violation.
One could simply acknowledge the violation and face the decision of the Administrative Law Judge, which may be incarceration, or one could build a defense to the violation.
If you failed to report to your parole officer, you will need a legal reason to not return to state prison. If you were working, and to avoid being fired, you needed to miss your report date, get proof that you were working. If possible, call my office before your PO charges you with a violation. If you have an addiction problem, start attending addiction meetings regularly, and ask your parole officer for treatment assistance.
